Password Protected Locked Layer?

As a photographer, we are very protective of our creations. I have an image that I took for a client, that needs some Photoshop clean-up work, that will probably take me 15~30 minutes to complete, and I plan on billing my client for my labor. However, when I mentioned this work to my client, they told me that they can't afford my price (which isn't that much), and that they'd like to have a family member who is a "Photoshop expert" do the work, instead of me, and then give me the image, so that I can send it to my lab for printing. I can't imagine having the image out of my control, where it could be printed by them, posted to Facebook or shared with others, so this option really doesn't sit very well with me!
I like to do what I can to make my clients happy, but may not be able to in this instance. However, what I was thinking, although I believe that I already know the answer, is adding a password protected, locked layer with my low opacity watermark over the image. Unfortunately, I can't think of anyway to achieve this password protecting of a layer. Sure I can lock a layer, but it can be turned off at will.
Can any one out there think of any other options or solutions, that will allow me to give my image to a client, and ensure that my watermark/copyright remain visible on the image during the entire time that they're editing it?

We can only make conclusions based on what little you have described. GIGO.
We're only left to addressing the foolishness of the shoot as there is nothing that can further be said about a ridiculous hope of software. Do we recognize the silliness in supposing that you could supply a file that is both editable and not editable?
Adobe already offers some security options in PDF files (preventing copying, printing, editing, opening, etc), which are easily defeated. Hold your breath to wait for this stunningly ineffective technology to make it to other Adobe apps.
As this is such an issue for you, it may be time to reevaluate the business model of prints as a significant portion of your service. Home computers and Walmart's in-store photo printer have replaced most of your service, even if you forced the client to sign a piece of paper vowing not to duplicate. Photographers really need to focus on and charge appropriately for the craft of photography (like employing guards on windy, rainy days) and not try to be intellectual property managers for an end product that they really cannot control anymore.
You can enter feature requests here and then wait a year or so for the release cycle. How soon does your client need prints?

Plugin for Illustrator v15.0.0 (CS5) to password protect a layer

Does anyone know if there is a new plugin for illustrator that will password protect a layer. The plugin Master Lock only works in Illustrator version 8 and 9.
Is there a newer version that works with CS5 ?

I have just come across this same issue when looking for a way to password protect layers. Did you ever find anything, or has anyone else found something??? I'm also curious in getting Master Lock for AI v 8 and 9 to see if I can develop my own plugin for current versions of Illustrator.
Thanks,

Locking Files or Folders -- Password protected access?

I know how to simply lock a folder or file so it can't be altered or deleted, by selecting 'Locked' in the file or folder's information box. But is it possible to lock a folder or file so it requires a password to be accessed, without having to use a third-party program? A simple OS X password protected locking feature.

Hi
The only built-in way you can do this is by creating an encrypted disk image from the folder using Disk Utiility. When you create the image, make sure you select type "encrypted", and when you first enter the password, make sure not to select "save password in keychain". And test opening the image with the password before you delete the original folder, just in case.

Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

As stated, no way to do exactly what you want, but an option might be to turn OFF Visibility for that Layer, if you do not want it seen, and then Flatten, and do a Save_As.
If you do want that Layer seen, but not able to be edited, then Flatten, with Visibility ON, and Save_As.
The question is, do you want the recipient to see that Layer, or not?
Next, Do they need to be able to edit all other Layers, but just not that one?
Last, what type of Layer is it?
Good luck,
Hunt

How to show ipad application in itunes, but will only be assessable to owners, not the general public by using lock code/password protected on iTunes

So if I understand you properly, I need to create EOs for all my list of values (which are based on views of Oracle apps tables) and base my VO on those EOs. And then I setup associations between these EOs and the Item EO. Then I include the these EOs in my Items VO and add the description attributes to my list of attributes. I had done this for the list of users, but for the views of Oracle I had just created read only VO. Sounds like that won't work if I want to display the description. I know what to do - I guess I was hoping there was a way to use the read only VO.
Thanks

Pages 5.2 file is password protected but doesn't ask for password and is locked and not accessible.

MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.2, Pages 5.2
File is password protected but when I go to open it I'm not asked for password and therefore the file can't be opened. It shows up in the list of files as locked. I have opened this file with the password many times, but now I can't open it.

I just got it to work...sorry for the message!

How can I lock / password protect an album?

I have iPhoto 6. Is there any way I can lock / secure / password protect
1. film rolls within the Library
2. Specific Albums and Slideshows I have created?
Thank you,
HDP

HDP,
There is a Mac 101 tutorial that may help. Try this page first, then scroll down to where it says "About User Accounts". A bit below that is "Creating User Accounts". It may or may not be useful for you, as I think the tutorials are based on Tiger, and your specs show you on Panther. But take a look, since it might be close enough to help you figure it out on your Mac.

Locked or Password Protected Printing

Hello:
Is it possible to print from a MAC using a password protected or locked print job that can only be retrieved by the sender at a network printer? If so, how is this done on a MAC?

I don't suspect there's anyway to protect text files
that I load on to my iPod, is there?
I've sucessfully done this already. The files remain perfectly readable but you won't ever understand them again (but that's a small price to pay for the peace of mind you get).
Looks like the screenlock's your only answer!

This may help: iOS: Understanding multitasking.
If you turn OFF multi-taskng, your toddler won't be able to "swipe" between Apps.
I don't know of any way to disable the "Home" button though.

Is dare any app locker or app hider or app password protecter for iphone 5s n which is works good. Plz provide me . Thanks

IS dare any app locker or app hider or app password protecter by which anybody can't open any app without my permission. Its a kind of app login. Plz give me a solution for my iphone 5s. Thanks.

That what a passcode is used for, to locked your whole phone.
Some apps may come with a passcode, but its a few.
so to answer your question no there isn't an app locker for each individual apps.
You can put your apps together in a folder.

HT4901 My iPad was stolen. It is password protected and I locked it. So far no one has tried to turn it on. I would like to erase the content but am afraid that the "Find it' software would be diabled too. Can someone tell me if this is what happens?

My iPad was stolen. It is password protected and I locked it. So far no one has tried to turn it on. I would like to erase the content but am afraid that the "Find it' software would be diabled too. Can someone tell me if this is what happens?

If content is erased, then the ipad will no longer have the Find My iPhone service turned on, hence can't be tracked. But the thief will not be able to view your data/apps. But thieves these days know about the service and can reset the device so that it is no longer tracked, although all data is erased anyway. They don't care about getting at your data, only about keeping the device to sell or use it as their own.
